Tennis at Wimbledon 2025

Such a lot of unhappy players.

Struggling with mental health, injuries and pressures to get a top win, much weeping and unhappiness and seemingly punishment, all very evident on court.

It is difficult and unlike football or cricket no team players to share.

Notice happier tennis teams at the Doubles. Gentleman's doubles final win for GB

Well done 👏

I think the blistering heat got to most of them @TallTrees

Biggest shock for me was Sinner beating Djokovic' Sinner faces Carlos Alcaraz in the final.

The Womens final was a disaster for Amanda Anisamova.

Apparently she was 'frozen with nerves' when she faced little known Iga Swiatek who beat her with an astonishing 6-0 6-0 win.

Britain had a chance of another doubles win with Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid. However they were unable to defend their Wimbledon men's wheelchair doubles title as they were beaten in a thrilling final by Martin de la Puente and Ruben Spaargaren.

Alfie Hewitt faces current champion Tokita Oda for the Mens Singles Wheelchair final which is currently playing as I write.

I really don't think any of the players have ever played Wimbledon in that heat

Normally we are closing the roof due to rain!

The Mens singles final starts at 4pm.

Yes wheelchair tennis is good @Cleoriff

I has been very difficult with the heat playing tennis, so you are right in many ways. Iga was OK though earlier. It was too much pressure to win final for her, as you mentioned, she completely lost it, bless her, totally awful defeat 0 on the board couldn't be worse.

Sinner was playing Djokovic who may have been a bit injured after the splits! at 38 yrs 😳 difficult to recover. Did you notice, though, Sinner wasn't doing awfully well at the quarters against B.Shelton until he pulled muscle and had to retire?

I 🤔 Alcatraz will demolish Sinner but then... who knows what happens in real time, the day, the heat, the pressure, 💰🤑 and all 😂I'll watch it though should be good.

Maybe no one will 😢 either 😅 at the end.

I missed the game @TallTrees but I see Sinner won 3-1 sets.

Avenged his defeat by Alcaraz at the French Open just 35 days ago.

Sorry to see our Alfie Hewitt lost the Mens wheelchair final earlier. 🤔

It was a good game with Sinner and Alcaraz @Cleoriff

Yes they are good friends and still rivals in the game. Good sportsmen.

Yes sorry for Alfie.
